  • Effect of Time Machine on SSD

    I installed an SSD in my MBP and moved the old HD in bay view which I configured as a backup Time machine. Time Machine tries to save every hour, every day and every week as default (I think).

    First of all, is it possible to change this to a custom schedule

    Secondly, is it bad for the SSD?

    See this link for instructions on how to change the interval. But while it is more attention of the user, you can turn off Time Machine, check the box to have its display icon in the menu bar and then when you feel that a TM backup is a timely idea, just select 'Back Up Now' on the TM menu. I'm doing it's once a day, or every time there is something I want to save.

    Because the backup involves reading from the SSD instead of writing on it, it isn't bad for the SSD.

  • Displaying video MP4 in Windows Live Photo Gallery is big black box covering screen

    Direct problem photo library - a video file viewing MP4 leaves a big black box about the size of the video, covering most of the screen. I can see the WLPG homepage on the edges of the black box and click on the pictures (i.e. go to the next image), but is the black box and the program is unusable.  The black box can be removed leaving WLPG and restart.  I changed the default viewer for WLPG video but the problem remains.  Thank you...

    I have updated the driver from the NVIDIA site but no improvement.  But I have now solved the problem successfully.  Some time ago I downloaded DivX Plus.  I noticed that the video at the origin of the problem was a small DivX HD logo on it, so this program must have reset my settings by default and converted my files was not asking.  I uninstalled all parts of DivX and the problem is solved.   Thanks again for your support.

  • Time Machine does not

    Does anyone have any suggestions?  I rebooted several times, assembled and disassembled the external hard drive but still get the same results.

    I use a 2 TB WD My Book Essential external HARD drive.  My OS is El Capitan.

  • Restore the backed up Notes of Time Machine

    I was automatically save my com.apple.Notes on the time Machine and it's time that I need to restore an older version of the Notes. So I entered the Time Machine and restored the old version and that worked fine. I can see the dates of the oldest record in the shell in /Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes < user >... / and they correspond to the older than date. I closed the application Notes before restoring and then re-opened, but it still shows the changes of today. So I rebooted the machine, but no luck. I cleared up the Caches in the library folder, but once again no luck. The idea of Time Machine must be able to restore the old data. This case does not seem to approach this concept. Is readind Notes anywhere else? I ran a global command on "/" as root and search notes. None of the successes that were matched today so where Notes read? How can I read my freshly restored older Notes folders?

    Thanks in advance for any comments on this.

    This procedure returns the database of Notes of the set to an earlier version. It is not possible to restore individual notes.

    Please stop the Notes application is running.

    1 triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select this option:

    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes

    Right-click or Ctrl-click on the highlighted line and select

    Services ▹ reveal in Finder (or just to reveal)

    of the contextual menu.*, a file must open with a selected item named "com.apple.Notes". Move the selected item to the trash, then restore it from a backup prior to the unwanted change. If you make a backup with Time Machine, enter it and select the snapshot you want to restore from.

    2. make as in step 1 with this line:

    ~/Library/Group Containers/group.com.apple.notes

    This time the selected item will be "group.com.apple.notes", otherwise you may get an alert that the item does not exist. The latter case, skip this step.

    3 log off or restart the computer, and empty the trash. Launch of Notes. You can see a "Welcome to Notes" splash screen, as if you had never started. Click on continue.

    4. If you synchronize Notes with iCloud or another network service, notes that you restored may be immediately deleted after you restore the. In this case, temporarily, disconnect from the Internet, for example by turning off your adapter broadband and restore again. Copy the contents of each note of a document in another application, such as TextEdit. Reconnect to the Internet. If the notes are deleted, recreate them in TextEdit document. They should then synchronize to the network.

    * If you do not see the item context menu copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

  • Backups Time Machine missing after model clean install

    For a Mac using Time Machine to back up, is there a way to clean install OS X for a new internal SSD and keeps backups Time Machine historical which have been made using the previous internal SSD?  While as I use it to back up the new internal SSD TM, TM will show the backup history of both the previous internal SSD and the new (up to the capacity of the disc from the TimeCapsule).

    MacBookPro8, 2 I used Time Machine on a time Capsule TB 3 towards the rear for 2 years. No problems and shows 2.24 available 3 TB.

    Last night I did a clean model 10.11.5 install a new SSD, and a transfer application, the user accounts Migration Wizard, etc. Since the previous flash SSD disk internal (format / installed the new SSD, attached to the internal SSD previous via USB flash disk, then started in Recovery Mode to clean the installation model to the new internal SSD and when prompted did the previous internal SSD Migration Assistant).

    Everything no problem above went very well. But now when I "TimeMachine enter", I see that the most recent backup made (before the clean install).  The right navigation (which goes in reverse chronological order of the lower part of the screen to the top) seems to show the date on which the previous backups have been identified.  But if I click on a date, TM Finder main window does not scroll from that date. The top / arrow down buttons to the right of the main window of Finder TM also do not respond to clicks.

    So far as I can tell, I've lost all TM backups except the most recent. I have all saved data elsewhere outside time Capsule, so between that and the 1 backup, I can see in TM I have not lost anything.

    If I had done the Migration Wizard from the TimeCapsule rather than the previous internal SSD flash drive, would that have kept all historical TM backups?

    Thanks for any idea

    Time Machine, please press the shift-command-C key combination. The windshield will show the mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible. Select the one you want and search for files to restore.

    If you need to restore from a backup of the hidden user library folder, first select a snapshot, and then press shift-command-G. A go to the folder dialog box opens. In this document, you enter the path to the folder. The dialog box will help you by automatically filling parts of the path when you start typing.

    The path starts with the slash character ("/"). Enter that. The rest of the parts is separated by slashes.

    The next part is the date and time of the current snapshot. Enter a '2', and the rest of the date should be filled in automatically. Press the right arrow key to access the end of the path. Enter a slash to start the next game.

    Next is the volume name (usually "Macintosh HD" unless you assigned a different name.) Start typing, then jump to the end and enter a slash.

    The next part is 'Users', followed by a slash.

    Then is your short user name. It is also the name of your home folder, which is represented by an icon of the House in the sidebar of a Finder window.

    Finally, enter "Library", and then press return. You should now be in the library folder. From there, you can move like in the Finder. You can also select another snapshot of the same folder.

  • Backup from Time Machine not recognized

    Hello. I have a mid-2011 21 "iMac 2.8 GHz i7 with 16 GB of RAM, running 10.11.4, El Capitan. My old 1 TB HDD (HARD drive) was giving me problems (grinding and draw and he had considerably slowed down), so I backed up the computer with Time Machine (which I did for years), and I bought a 1 GB SSD from OWC replacement kit. I installed it in the hard drive, location in my iMac, reinstalled the operating system, and the new drive is running great. No problems with it.

    The drive Time Machine is a disk HARD Seagate 2 TB external drive connected by USB to the computer.

    So, my next step is to transfer the old news of Time Machine in the new drive. I tried first Assistant Setup in recovery mode, but the Machine of the time in the car was not found (recognized). When I started normally, the drive of the Time Machine is visible on my desktop, and backup files appear in there.

    So, then, I ran on the drive disk utility. I could not launch 'repair' the disk as a whole (the button is dimmed when I click on the disc), but I fix the partition on the disk. No not found errors.

    Then I went in the Migration Wizard to move the files. But I had the same problem as before - Migration Wizard does not see the Time Machine drive.

    So. I tried to enter Time Machine 'Star Wars' show on the computer and dated backups appear on the right side of the screen, but then, when I go to look at, it does not appear that there is something in them.

    I kept the old drive HARD and (in panic), I ordered a box to put the old drive, and I'll try to get the files this way. But, I still want to use the files on my Time Machine drive.

    At this point, the only thing I have to save my documents, my pictures and family videos and music. If only I could get in the 'Home' on my Time Machine backup folder by clicking on the player, I will manually install the files 'Desktop', 'Documents', 'Movies', 'Music' and 'pictures '. I don't know if this is possible, and I have never done this. I don't like not everything 'Applications', or anything else, so I'm willing to do the grunt work on those reinstall the old way. Can manually install you the items in the folder to the home page of Time Machine in another drive?

    Any advice you can give literally will save me! I'm kinda at a loss on what to do. The last time I used Time Machine to do this (to transfer the files on the iMac 2011) it worked like a charm.

    Thank you! Clay

  • Slow backup on Time Machine to Seagate Maxtor M3

    Hello

    I'm trying to save on a Seagate Maxtor M3 2 TB external, portable player using Airport Extreme and Time Machine, since my Mac Book Pro 13 "beginning 2015."

    Is 7 hours for a 91 GB a reasonable turnover?

    The backup seems to stop when the machine mode 'sleep', is there a way to keep it alive and back up, even with the black screen?

    Thank you very much in advance for any suggestions you may have.

    Kind regards.

    Toni

    Hello Toni, I had this problem too. Your backup hard drive maybe a good speed, but the usb of the airport is only a USB 2 port, and he has always shown to be slow for me when I connect a hard drive in this way. My suggestion would be to go in on your mac Energy Saver preferences, and then select the power adapter. Then select never sleep. Then at night, turn your MacBook Pro on the charger and let it open. Then connect the backup hard drive, and it backs up during the night. Airports have shown to be a little weak in this area. In fact, my Airport stops working if I try to do.
